Army to shoot live pigs for training

I am not even getting into this one..................

 

"If frying a live monkey's brain will help us cure cancer one day, or save even one life... I have only one thing to say.... The left is positive, and the right is negative!"

-- random stand-up comic, sometime in the past on MTV

If it was just for the sake of killing animals, I don't think it's right. However, if this will help us learn how to better treat battle wounds to soldiers... well then... sorry little piggy. ::kar

 

they could always use the blood from the pigs to smear on the bullets and bombs that we use in the middle East. That would end the war in nothing flat lol. (Didn't McArthur use this same tactic in the Philippines?).

 

I worked security many moons ago in a lab where they did animal testing for new surgical techniques. The animals were bred on a farm specifically for that use.

Note that this is Hawai'i and there are Luaus.

 

Kailua Pork

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy ot

 

This place is full of PETA members, I see. :happy102

 

NON PETA here...send me the ribs

 

War brings about circumstances that we often prefer were different.

 

Mmmmmmm, those ribs look delicious....:drool :drool

Well, at least they can roast the pigs for Luaus....that stuff is tasty.....I'll pass on the poi though.

 

myself, I don't eat pork......

 

Mmmmmmm. Southern pulled pork.

 

It's just hard to decide exactly who the monkey is! I think I'd prefer some monkeys before some of the representatives of Homo Sapiens I have met...

 

There's a tree that needs a hug somewhere. If you want to get personal with insults, you should probably act like a Moderator and take it to PMs.

The development of insulin was the direct result of animal research. It was through research on dogs that scientists were able to identify the pancreas as being where insulin is made, and through careful investigation were able to isolate, and then later synthesize, insulin.

Since this discovery, millions of people with diabetes have been able to live much longer, happier lives.

Meningitis, as another example. Any of the above, and much more, can be easily found on Google searching for animal testing results.

I'll state my belief again. Torturing animals, simply for the sake of torturing animals, is sick and twisted... and should not be condoned or supported in the least. However, as a legitimate source of scientific testing, I fully support it.

 

I do not believe that anything was directed towards you specifically Baloosh. I saw nothing that would suggest he was calling you a monkey or that you are worse than a monkey or anything.

 

He quoted part of one of my posts, then put this sentence directly afterwards. If I'm mistaken, at least you can see how one could pretty easily infer a personal insult? If he was quoting *your* statement about monkeys... would YOU consider it a personal attack?
